That's misinformation on your part. The article shows hard rock is way cheaper.
The problem with brine is the additional expense of $2000/tonne converting carbonate to hydroxide.
Not to mention brine is a slow process.
This says it all
this is outweighed by the value addition to the product, which will increase from US$4,587/t LCE for spodumene concentrate to US$17,274/t LCE for lithium hydroxide. The significant addition to the price over the additional cost is what will lead to a higher margin for hydroxide over concentrate at Greenbushes. Isn't it amazing the entire brine industry just can't compete which is unfortunate because I was willing to buy in at 40 cents for NLC
